I'm not sure what I had expected, but this wasn't it. I had to turn it off after about 25 minutes, it failed to keep my attention. This is not Chris Rock's wittiest by a long shot. While the content is interesting (I had no idea hair was THAT important to some women) I just thought I found myself staring at idiots trying to be someone they're not. I don't recommend it.

One of the most surprising videos I've seen (maybe because I'm a white woman, not a black one). I had no idea of the expense and time that can go into being a stylish, but not necessarily wealthy, black woman. Astounding. And then the irony of where the hair comes from, and how rich it makes the temple in India. Fabulous.

really enjoyed this movie, chris rock puts humor and insight into (what i think) is a touchy subject in the non african american community. i, for one, always wondered what the deal was with the protectiveness of the women about their hair. now i know.

Skip It - Good Hair (2009) [Documentary] 96 min. Chris Rock is completely de-clawed of his wit and humour in this documentary focusing on African-American women and what they do in order to straighten their hair. Chris Rock then travels to India to examine how weaves are made and finally, Chris Rock attends a hair stylist competition that is apparently held once a year – I didn’t know that and quite frankly, I really didn’t care either. I’m not sure who this film is intended for. The film is dull and overlong and could’ve been summarized in a 5-minute news feature.

Chris Rock's daughter leads him to explore the black idea of 'good hair' leading him to the billion-dollar black hair industry. Informative, amusing and creative. I learned a lot and had a fun time watching this documentary.

Really good movie. It's amazing all the stuff women will do to their hair! And I did not know that so many black women wear weaves! That was the truely shocking part for me... I just thought that they had figured out someway to straighten their hair that I hadn't figured out. Huh.

Chris Rock did a great job with this movie. One thing that has opened my eyes is the low self-esteem of the young girls. Chris Rock said it best "its not the hair on your head that's important it's what's in your head that is!"

This documentary was really enjoyable. I knew a little about black women's hair from friends and family, but it still blew me away to find out that average women pay over $1,000 dollars to get a weave. When they travel to India to find where the hair comes from, it really makes you see religion turning a profit by using someone's beliefs. It was thought provoking as well as entertaining. Even my husband cracked up during this whole movie.

I thought that this film was really fascinating. I stumbled upon it because of Chris Rock's involvement (although I'll warn you, this isn't his usual fare), then checked it out because the premise sounded interesting. It's a documentary about hair in the black community. It discusses straighteners and weaves, as well as their histories and how the products are made. All of this was engaging, and bookended by the story of a massive hairstyling championship, where hairstylist cut hair hanging upside down, underwater, and in any other number of bombastic ways. There's an interesting social commentary underlying the whole film -- at one point, Rock goes around trying to sell a bag full of black hair, but is turned down, because black women only want weaves made from Indian or Asian hair. This was all something that I'd never really thought about, and it was really interesting to learn about the entire industry that has been set up around black hair. The film was informative, well-structured, and quite well hosted by Chris Rock. I highly recommend it.
